I was interested in 40k around early high school. However, the investment to even START playing was like $300 in pieces, most of which were $20-$50 a pop. After I saw that, I quickly forgot about 40k and never cared about it again.

A decent starter army usually has a starter box of about $100. Mine is a total $175. It's expensive to make that stuff.

Expensive, lol.

They are just grey pewter statues, $175 for a set is insanity.

and GW wonder why people are going to discount's websites. wayland games is my favourite.

...and homoerotic. I'm fairly certain it's unintentional, but bloody hell, the Horus Heresy novels spend a lot of time dwelling on how "beautiful" all those big muscular primarchs are.

Yeah, you heard me. Space Marines are gay.

So much for the ultra grim dark future then. Where are the f-ing rainbows?!
Atleast social acceptance levels went up.

The Rainbow Warriros?
Here they are.

Eisenhorn stuff

Eisenhorn was a tie in book for the launch of my favorite 40k game of them all, Inquisitor. Part RPG part TT game you built up either an inquisitors warband or his enemies and over a series of games (or just one) fight it out with a narrative. Its hard to get a game now, most of the younger players never picked it up.

It's not the "dark" aspect that turns me off, it's the lack of what I can only call "aesthetic restraint" and the subsequent improbability.

WH40K doesn't actually strike me as dark. Things that try too hard to be grim usually aren't. WH40K just reminds me of heavy metal album covers. Y'know, all skulls and monsters and muscly dudes with axes and whatnot, like it's forgotten that it's just a recording of some hairy guys yelling into a microphone and playing electric guitar. Similarly, WH40K looks like what you'd get if Lego started trying to be grim.

Speaking of which.....

Even in Death I still hurt your feet.

Only for the Emprah.

For example if an Orc find an pencil and want to create a gun with it..........HE WILL DO IT BECAUSE HE BELIEVED SO!!!!!!

There are limits, the Ork has to believe absolutely that the "gun" will fire before it will actually do so, and that means that it at the very least has to go dakka and fling hot brass everywhere when used. Of course, the louder the noise when it fires the more powerful it will be.


On the other hand, if you give an Ork a red pencil, he will be able to write faster with it.

So if an Ork stick a giant dildo to an Ultramarine's naked ass, and make a loud sound [cause of the pain], the orK could used him as a weapon?

joking of course........but can he?

Yes they are the Fulgrim novel especially, that novel was a giant homoerotic minibus roaming the stars looking for S&M clubs, a few fights and a chance to be on the front cover of a porn mag.

Damn funny though.

Yeah one of my favorite scenes includes fulgrim dolled up like a geshia girl while the eldar he's meeting exchange coy smiles with one another. A cute little nod to the reader.

I don't think you even understood what you posted, jesus you took the conversation and went at warp ten to the left of it.

There's nothing to misunderstand, you saw something you liked being attacked and you jumped on the attacker like a loyal hound dog. Congrats.

You then attempt to make it seem like you know better by making half baked points and then accusing the other person of "not getting it" (As evidenced by your posts with me and the reply to another guy in the same post)

I think everyone would take 40k a little more seriously if the Angry Marines were present in the story more often.

What I understood from his post is just a general annoyance at your insistence (throughout multiple threads now) to refer to Warhammer 40k as a "story" instead of a "setting", 40k isn't a story, its a setting in which uncounted stories take place. you can say that you don't like the setting, and therefor you have no interest in the stories that emerge from it, but STOP CALLING IT A "STORY".

Well that's nitpicky to an extreme.

Not really, words have meaning for a reason, you keep using the wrong word. This been pointed out to you several times (in your own thread about 40k). There is a BIG difference between a story and a setting.
